Chapter One

Demon Watcher

Blood. Red as a river they say. But water is not thicker then blood. I know this lesson better then most. I can tell children don't understand about the problems there parents have at home. I am the one who hears their screaming and yelling. It always ends the same; the woman's husband raises his voice, and his fist, and puts his wife in her place. It was painful to watch. The pain displayed on her face. And the satisfactory on his. And on mine, blank. Just a blank expression. Cold and alone. Not only was I surrounded by a large amount of humans, but I was surrounded by the personification of low.

"Hiei?" it was Kurama.

"What fox?" I replied this was an interesting time; she was not crying, but fighting back. I wish I had seen this before.

"Its time to leave, my mother wants me home, and I'm actually getting tired of this school."

"What a shock fox. Hold on, ill meet you there." I answered.

"Ok Hiei. You do that..." Kurama was bored of me I could see this.

Yes, I knew it; she finally did what she had yearned to do. She killed that fucking bastard. That was an ending that I never had seen. I was not interested anymore. I wandered my way to Kurama's house. As I let myself in, Shiori, was there to greet me.

"Hello, how are you Hiei?"

"Fine." I muttered. And made my way To Kurama's room.

"oh, Hiei, hello, it about time you came, why did you stay anyway?" Kurama asked.

"I was watching something, that's all." I said. I couldn't actually tell him what I was watching, not only could that put me in a terrible place, but Kurama would picture me as being bored. Then, then he would ask me to start staying here, I would stop eating and he would think something was wrong. Then I would later hear about it from Yuske and that ape, Kuabara. Ugh, the very thought of it sent a shiver up my spine. Well, there was never anything good to do here. Kurama broke the silence.

"Hiei, my mother is having some men come work on the house, there really is nothing to do, so do you want to go to the park?"

"If we must." I replied slyly.

When we arrived at Kasuwaki Park, I looked around at the cherry blossom trees. The pink flowers shimmering in the sun light. Something I really want used to seeing. Their pink shimmer flooded the park like a rose colored ocean. They surrounded all of the people at that park. All shiny happy people. What a mother fucking beautiful place. I stopped staring when I saw Kurama walking into the picture.

"You ruined that fox..." I muttered under my breath. He was holding an ice cream in his hand. Huh. I said this phrase once, and I will say it again. The personification of low.

"Hiei, come on, lets walk around, maybe you can find a more cheerful place to sleep, instead of that old tree over that set of head stones.

"What a mother fucking waist of time..." I said

"Hiei, there are so many children around, some one could report you!"

"Oh yeah, a bunch of humans chasing me. Ooh, you scare me with your war stories fox. Hn." I said, I loved screwing things up.

"Well, I'm going to look around; I'm actually still hungry, if I can't find you ill meet you at my house."

"No fox, I'll meet you at the grave site."

"Fine, fine... It's not worth arguing with you Hiei." And with that the fox was walking away, and out of my sight. I had no iota of an idea of what to do. So, as always I jumped up in a cherry blossom tree, and looked down at all the shiny happy people. But three minutes in, I heard something; a stick broke, and landed on my shoulder. I had some company. Before I knew it, I was laying on the ground, face up, staring at the sky. The light began to burn my eyes, so I stood up. As I looked next to where I was laying, I saw a girl was next no that very spot. She stood up quickly; and as she stood, I stared at her, her back was to me, but I could see a lot. What she wore was very revealing. Her hair was very jagged, and was raven black. The ends of each strand of hair was silver, and the very tips, yellow. Almost not visible. She wore black very short shorts, and a black, also very short shirt. It was a tank top, because the sleeves did not go any wider then 3 inches, but no skinnier then 2 inches. Her hair covered her shoulders, but not much longer. She turned, looking at me. She had deep yellow eyes, reflecting her hair color. She was beautiful, I couldn't help but look down at her breasts, which I then couldn't keep my eyes off of. I finally yanked them up to her face. She was brushing of her shoulders. She then looked at me. I felt as if my heart was about to rip out of my chest.

"I'm sorry, are you alight." She said. Her voice was not soft, but not harsh either. She spoke so lightly. I could tell, her energy was so strong, she had to be a demon.

"Yes, I'm, I'm fine." I said, quietly. She put out her hand.

"I'm Nayoko." I took her hand.

"Hiei. Nayoko, this may seem strange, but are you..."

"Yes?"

"Are you a demon" She seemed shocked at first. Her face settled.

"Yes Hiei, I am." She grabbed my sleeve.

"Come on. Lets take a walk..."
